through its life-giving warmth, has
performed his latest miracle, in the
creation of this wondrous land people.
AS we look down the past century to
the origin of our constitution; as We
contemplate It's trials and its triumphs;
as we realize how completely the prin-
ciples upon which it is based have met
every national peril and every national
need, how devoutly should we confess,
with Franklin, that "God governs in
the affairs of men," and how solemn
should be the reflection that TO our
hands is committed this ark of the peo-
ple's covenant, and that ours is the
duty to shield it from implous hands.
We received it sealed with the tests of
a century. 1t has been found sufficient
in the past; and in all the future years
it will be found sufficient if the Ameri-
can people are true to their sacred trust.
Another centennial day will come, ana
millions yet unborn will inquire con-
cerning our stewardship and the safety
of their constitution. God grant that
they may find it unimpaired, and as we
rejoice in the patriotism and devotion
of those who lived a hundred years ago,
so may others who follow us rejoice in
our fidelity and in our jealous love for
constitutional liberty.
While the president was delivering
his speech the old liberty bell rang out
the hour of noon. Cheer after cheer
greeted every stroke and as the chief
magistrate Of the country stood await
ing until the old bell, which once rang
out the proclamation of new nation,
to stop ringing and the end of the
plaudits of liberty-loving people, the
scene was most impressive. While the
bell was yet ringing the vast chorus
broke into a patriotic air and the peo-
pie fairly went wild. Justice Miller of
the supreme court delivered All address
OH the constitution and Cardinal Glib
bons delivered most eloquent prayer
which moved every soul in the vast
audience, and after a benediction by
Rev. Jere Witherspoon, of Nashville,
the ceremonies were concluded.

''oH, THE BEAUTY OF RELIGION. .,'
The Last IntelIigible Words OF Ex-,
:. Gov, Blackburn, Now Dead.

LOUISVILLE, Sept. 15.-Ex-Gov.
Luke P. Blackburn, who has been ly-
ing at the point Of death at Frankfort,
KY, for weeks, died there at $50 p. m.
yesterday. His last intelligible words
were spoken last Saturday and were.
"Oh, the beauty of religion"
EX-Gov. Blackburn was born in
Wood county, Kentucky. He gradual
ed in medicine at TransyIvania and
practiced his profession for some years
in his native state. Later he became
renowned for the great skill and couE-
age he exhibited while battling with
the yellow fever epidemics at New
Orleans and other points, in the south
at different periods. 1t seemed one of
the greatest pleasures of his life to aid
those stricken down during times Of
plague at his personal peril and he
never failed to respond to a call of the
sick and distressed. Few physicians
ever combatted more epidemics OF
cholera and yellow fever, and probably
no better authority on these fatal
diseases is known to the medical pro-
fession. He was governor of kentucky
during the term which preceded THAI
of the lately retired governor, J. Proc
tor Knott. He was q half brother OF
Senator J. G. Blackburn.

The Halt Called on Foraker is Having
its Effects-His Harangues
Not Reliable,
[From Cincinnati Post. !

from Clnc1nnau fOBt'I
The whole speech at Gettysburg was
dignified and appropriate, and ought
to remove much of the bad impression
inevitably made by the Governors
hasty and partisan performances.
Gov. Foraker's opening sentence con-
tained rhetorical flourish that is not
accurate. He said plymouth Rock,
jamestown, and Gettysburg are three
of the most important points in Ameri-
can history. They mark respectively
the beginning of free and slave institu-
tions and the triumph Of one over the
other" The truth is that slaves were
not introduced until long after the
palmy days of Plymouth and James
town. Further, when slaves We're in
troduced they were introduced into
New England as we'll as into the South.
In New England the system, because
of the climate, never flourished. 1t
lasted, however, for hundred years,
and during all of that time, and indeed
down until the end of the slave trade,
New Englanders found voyages from
Africa to our Southern States peculiarly
profitable and pleasant and based upon
them the now decayed prosperity of
Salem and other ports and fortunes
that last to this day.
The West, the "Territory North
west of the River Ohio" out of which
our own Ohio was the first state carved,
is the part of the United States that has
the honor of having been free from the
first day of its organization under gov
ernment; and the credit for the famous
ordinance that saved Ohio and the
whole of the West from slavery, is
evenly divided between Nathan Dean,
of Massachusetts,, and Thomas Jeffer-
son, of Virginia. .

Made Wealthy by Pensions.

Joseph Garrison, Idaho, who has Just
been notified from Washington that
his pension was allowed, claimed back
pension from 1S4S. BY temporarily
waving a heavier claim for entire disa-
bility resulting from wound on the
head, inflicted by bowlder thrown
from the roof of house at the storm
ing of the City of Mexico, he has been
allowed So month, with six per cent.
interest per annum, since 1948-a
period of thirty-nine years. Having
served in the war of the rebellion as a
Lieutenant in the Second California
cavalry, he expects to get an additional
sum. The allowanceto him so far will
secure him over $4,000, and when his
other claims for increased pension are
adjudicated, he expects to receive $l5,-
600 to 5000 more.-N Y Post.

Foraker's Vulgar Mouth.
Boston Post.l

Gov. Foraker is conduting cam
paign of bad manners in Ohio with
great vigor. There is even vicious
ingenuity in his efforts to make him
self offensive. In his speech at Toledo,
celebrating his version of the battle
flag incident, he took occasion to refer
to the presidentas whipped spaniel.''
General Powell, having criticised such
talk as indecorous in the mouth of the
governor of the state, he responded by.
declaring in his next harangue: "Of;..
no; did notsay that. 1 have too much
respect for the dog" This retort, it is
unnecessary to say, is not original with
Governor Foraker, and he seems to
have been forced to make an untrue
denial in order to fit the borrowed
sarcasm to his necessities. But it is
none the less indecent. 1t is possible
that Gov. Foraker understands his
audiences and is giving the Republi-
cans of Ohio the sort oftallS that pleases
them; but he is not encouraging his
political symathizers elsewhere who
enjoy less mephitic atmosphere.

Contempt for Foraker.

Mr.. Powelps first gun of the cam
paign, as it is termed in political par
lance, was extremely temperate and
dignified, and in this respect, shows n
striking contrast with the majority of
Mr.. Foraker's efforts i'm the same di-
rectiOn. Our sympathies are with the
Republican party, and we hope for and
expect Republican victory this fall.
This does not, however, render us OBJ
llvious to Republican errors, either In
the choice of campaign methods
or otherwise. 1t is on this account that
we cannot overcome a feeling of con-
tempt for the methods adopted by MIR.
Foraker in conducting the present cam
paign. We do not believe that the
Republican party is reduced to such an
extremity that it is obliged to seek sue
cess through the agency of the class of
fireworks that Mr.. Foraker is constant
~ exploding. We are confident that
Mr.. Foraker's course has lost votes for
the Republican party, and we are glad
to see that influences have been brought
to restrain him.

"Didn't tell you SOP" said gentle
man to an acquaintance whom he
CHANGED to meet on the street; ''its
always the way.n "What's always the
G&ay?" inquired mutual friend Of the
two men who happened along just
then. "Why, just this" replied the
first speaker: "You see Smith, here,
the last time I met him he had one of
the worst coughs you ever heard. He
complained of loss of appetite, of
night-sweats, of low spirits and other
ofconsumption. I told him to get a
supply of DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery at once. He did so, and look
at him now! Did you oversee health

has snatched thousands from con-
sumptives' graves. I knew it would

JUSTICE LAMAR.
The Secretary's Appointment Con-
IT, sidered Certain.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.--There is
apparently no doubt that President
Cleveland has definitely determined to
appoint Secretary Lamar to the vacancy
on the Supreme bench caused by the
death of the late Justice Woods
Several days ago the President said in
reply to distinguished Southern poll
tician, who called to urge the claim of
one of his constituents for the place:
II have no doubt your friend is amply
qualified for the position, but 1 must
say to you in all candor that have
already decided upon the gentleman
who will succeed Mr.. Woods and have
no reason to believe 1 shall change my
mind"
1t is generally understood that Mr..
Lamar was. the gentleman referred to
by the President.

Jeffrey Wilson, who died near Me-
chanicsburg, O., few days ago, was
born slave in Virginia in 1878, and
had entered on his one hundred and
fifteenth year when he died. He was a
slave for 80 years. He had two wives.
By the first he became the father OF
eight children, three of whom are still
living, the average of their ages being
so years, the eldest being 81 and the
youngest 70 years. By his second wife
he had nine children, six Of whom are
living, their average ages being 50
years, the eldest being 5S and the
youngest Al. He had seventy-six
grandchildren, thirteen great-grand-
children and one great-great-grand-
child, his offspring extending through
four generations, there being 1O7 souls.
In his veins flowed the blood of three
races-white, negro and Indian--and
to this fact is attributed his Longevity.
